'' I had a fantastic time with Richard whilst doing my course with Serenity Sailing, the weather was great, the boat was pristine, Richard was confident and clear in his instruction and I have come away with a thirst for more. I will definitely be coming back to do further courses with Serenity Sailing and recommending Richard to my friends, family and colleagues! Thank you for a truly memorable and enjoyable experience ''. Eve, January 2008.
